Is it love?
My boyfriend has been traveling for the last six months. We were together five weeks in the middle of his journey, and he will be returning home soon. I am thinking about our future and I want to get engaged within the next year. He is not totally sure he believes in marriage and said he could spend his life with me, but not get married.
We have been together for two years and I am at the age where I don't want to spend years and years of my life with someone who won't be there "forever." Do you see us being a good match? My birthday is 9/25/79 and his is 8/15/82. I love him but we are very different. Can it work?

Dear Erin,
You and your sweetie have strong astrological ties, but you may have to wait about two years before he's ready to commit. You're a partnership-oriented Libra, with Sun, Venus, Mercury and Pluto in that sign. Libra is the sign of legal ties, so marriage is very important to you. And your Moon (emotions) in passionate, possessive Scorpio says you need to feel secure in a relationship. Your sweetie has Sun (individuality) and Venus (love) in fun-loving, generous Leo. Leos and Libras can be harmonious and creative partners. And your Mars (sexuality) and Jupiter (spirituality) in Leo is a passionate and uplifting connection with him. But here's the problem: Neptune is currently opposing his Sun. This idealistic influence resists settling down and is undoubtedly making him question his goals in life. In other words, he's not sure what he wants. Neptune will be with him for another year-and-a-half. Fortunately, he has Moon in Cancer, which says he'll eventually appreciate a warm and loving home life. It's also a deep emotional tie with your Moon in Scorpio.
But here's why I think your relationship may work out in the long run. Your guy has Saturn in Libra on your Libra placements. Saturn rules commitment and longevity, so a long-term relationship between you is a real possibility.
Currently, you're undergoing a Saturn return, which amplifies your need for a commitment. Your guy's Saturn return in Libra starts in the fall of 2009. Moreover, in the fall of 2010, Saturn moves closer to your Libra planets, which will help manifest your desire for marriage.
Best of luck to you both,
Cortney
All in a dream
I have had this same dream for nine weeks every night . . . my mum who has been dead now for 21 years came to me and asked me to go to Laglio, Lake Como, Italy. The dream is about a church in Laglio and a villa. She's asking me to go to this church and telling me I'm going to meet someone who will tell me something. What does it mean?

Dear Thelma,
Well, if this were my dream, I would have succumbed to my curiosity and packed my bags and flown to Italy! Have you investigated to see if a church exists there, like your mom described? I believe loved ones in the afterlife come to us in dreams with valuable messages for us. Perhaps there is someone connected to that church who has a message for you. Of course, the dream may be symbolic - perhaps your mother is urging you to pay more attention to your spiritual life, as symbolized by the church.
The first thing to ask yourself is, did my mother have ties to this location in Italy? Did this church or location have any special meaning for her - or for you? What comes to mind when you think of that region of Italy? The answers that come to you can illuminate what your dream means. But if you draw a blank, then perhaps it's time to visit a little church in Lagilio!
Sweet dreams,
Cortney
